#532I'm building a saas web app where web forum (like discourse, xenforo) admins can auto-create niche content using social media/reddit.

#533I've been building a simple time tracking app. I wanted to learn Next.js, React, TailwindCSS more thoroughly so took this opportunity to build a website I actually wanted to use.
I found all the existing time trackings apps to be so bloated with features like invoicing, billing, teams, etc. I wanted something for myself to be able to keep track of how long I was spending at work and on various tasks.
I'd love any feedback!

#534I've been building a Controleo3 reflow oven kit (https://www.whizoo.com/controleo3). It had all been going well until yesterday when I broke one of the heating elements. Now I'll have to get another toaster oven and do a transplant.
The end goal is to generally improve my ability to prototype PCBAs in my home lab, starting with a CAN gateway module that I've been designing. I'm hoping to be done with quarantine before I get to actually use the reflow oven.

#535I added watermarks to my video tools iOS app, and changed the name to Clippy:

It's one of my smaller apps but seemed to be gaining a bit of traction. Looks like this update has not helped gain new users as the last small update did... shrug

#538My friend and I got really frustrated by the available third-party authentication platforms like Auth0, so we began building our own instead.
It's a RESTful server-side API for adding user authentication and authorization flows to your apps.
We've been taking a lot of inspiration from Stripe and mostly just wanted to use an auth service with docs like Stripe :)
(Please note this is still pre-pre-pre beta. The docs are incomplete and we have yet to even integrate it with our own apps, so please don't try to build an app with it yet!)

#539I built a really basic typescript react design system for my personal toy/mess around web apps. It was a great excuse to learn how publishing an npm package to github packges works and learn more about styled-components.
